This wouldn't be a problem if Republicans weren't regularly suggesting the courts should be ignored or that judges are somehow overstepping their role by simply ruling Trump's illegal activity to be illegal.

A couple of thoughts: - We already have a similar program, the EB-5 visa, but that requires investing $500k or 1 million in US businesses and creating jobs, not just buying in with cold hard cash. - Trump can't do anything like this without Congress. The president can't sell green cards. Period.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people. Good trade.

It’s like many Democrats can’t quite grasp the way the rule of law underlies ALL of their power, their leverage, their safety. And the only thing underlying the rule of law is the public expectation that the law be followed and the promise of public discontent if it isn’t.

A federal judge has just ordered Musk to get out of Treasury’s computers. We are fortunate there are good lawyers representing democracy. Normally that would end the matter, but in this era there are legit questions about compliance & enforcement. We live on the edge of a constitutional crisis.

I have a net zero dad 😄 Even through we have a carbon tax in Canada, he calculates his own tax based on the latest social cost of carbon and donates it to a climate NGO every year. And for years, I didn’t even know he did this! I only found out when he mentioned it as a casual aside.
